- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup bourbon
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce for drizzling
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the toasted pecans, graham cracker crumbs, and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust.
- Make the Filling: In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture.
- Add Bourbon: Fold in the bourbon carefully, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Assemble: Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight to set.
- Serve: Once set, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Drizzle with caramel sauce before slicing and serving.
